Mandriva making its (little) move

This is an interesting article with an interview with Ian Murdock (Debian creator), about how Mandrive will need to encorporate Debian technology into its core if it is to survive.

I for one would like to see Mandriva move to apt for its package management, mainly 'cause I never really liked RPMs. If they did go this route it would be interesting to see how they distinguished themselves from the others.

I am for Linux. Period. Any advancement of any distro is good for Linux IMHO.

What do I use right now? Windows XP, cause all my computers are in a box somewhere, and I have no internet connection at home. So I am relagated to surfing solely on my work laptop.

What I was getting as what that Mandriva (Mandrake) was always a Red Hat clone. I have never heard of a distro thinking about moving between technologies like this. I may be wrong, has anyone ever heard of this happening before?
